I really want one as well, but I’m thinking of the Range Technology device as well, not sure which direction to go.

You are really blowing this out of proportion.  I am sure they will refund you if you are really that upset about it.  I never had any issues with mine.  I already replaced mine and sent the "bad" uni

I hear ya.

I’m a firm believer in  thorough testing before releasing a product being sure there are issues later. I appreciate that these guys hopefully fixed  The problem. I’m not trusting it now and I am doing something different. 

It’s a great way of eliminating if it was correct AND a pain to take the console out without breaking the console if you have one.

My Eliminator came back out and there won’t be another one installed.

Dang, I wasn't even in the market for one of these but the way you handled the whole issue makes me want to buy one just to support y'all.  How hard is the install.  Are there instructions?  I'll just YouTube it if needed or what not but was just curious as I'm not to keen on modifying my 1 month old truck yet.  

Thanks! Here is a link that contains printable instructions AND an installation video. https://www.autostopeliminator.com/installation-19-gm-silverado-sierra.html  It took under 13 minutes when we did it for the video. We show every step.

 

Various customers have told us it took them anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour when doing it themselves. On average, we hear 25-30 minutes from most people watching the video as they install the product. Some customers have left relevant information in their product reviews here: https://www.autostopeliminator.com/store/p12/silverado-sierra-ae004.html

 

Please check it out and let us know if you have any questions. You can also email us at [email protected] or contact us through our contact page on the website.

I'd like to offer something for you to consider.

 

The packaging on the Range device contains a warning to unplug the device if the truck is not driven daily as it can drain the battery.

Our device had a similar issue so we updated the design to fix the problem and issued free replacements to everyone. The purpose of the device is so you don't have to remember to hit the button each ignition cycle. With Range you get the new task of remembering to remove the device if you will be driving a different vehicle the next day, leaving your truck at the airport, or staying home all weekend.

 

Additionally, the Autostop Eliminator retains the auto stop/start button functionality, so you can always turn it back on if you choose to do so. With Range, it is always off. (Some people like to turn it back on when stuck in traffic.)

I installed mine a few weeks ago. The truck sits at the airport from time to time for days on end. NO issues when I've returned. I got the unit just after the recall, so I'm assuming I have the updated version.

As far as installation is concerned, I had a 1 month old truck at the time (now 2 month old) and started ripping into it. Scary yes, but I've taken apart my Gold Wing motorcycle a few times, so I was aware of how much pressure might be required to get panels to pop. The video was invaluable, and without it, I would not have attempted on an expensive vehicle. It took me about 1 hour start to finish, but that was with me running upstairs to my computer with its large screen to look at the video as I went through the process. Also, I'm VERY careful when it comes to disassembling anything I haven't done before. The installation I experienced was an exact match to the video, except my panels were a little harder to pop since it was brand new. 


I am very glad I did this installation, as it is so much nicer to not have to hit the damn autostop button every time I get in the truck.

Thank you for the info, I do basically daily drive my truck but being the Range device is so easy to disconnect it’s really not an issue and once they come out with a DFM disabler it should be a win. But to be real fair I’d rather run your product but with the work of taking apart the truck vs. just plugging in the Range device it’s a bit easier to use the Range. If you were to offer a nice discount for the work involved you could probably sway me pretty easily.

That will make the Autostop Eliminator $71.99. The Range is $189.99. That makes the Autostop Eliminator $118 cheaper.

 

They are different products. You should choose whatever you think will work best for you, but we do thank you for the consideration. But hey, by asking, you got a coupon code for anyone that was maybe on the fence. So, I'm sure they will thank you!

i kind of understand under certain circumstances why someone would want to disable afm, but mostly it's very unnoticeable and what the add doesn't mention is your increased fuel consumption...

 

now this autostart thing on the other hand has me bonkers. Just not sure it's $80 bonkers though.

I hate these systems and I find it hard to believe that your engine burns more gas idling at a stop light for 17 seconds than it does cranking it over and re-starting it every 5 seconds. I laugh at everyone's vehicle starting at the lights. Delays traffic too, causing more greenhouse gases when 4 of these cars in a row all have that system and take an extra second to get rolling. My 15L Caterpillar engines burn 1 gallon per hour on idle. What does a 5.3L burn? Probably less than 1/4gal (1 Litre) per hour. So your saving about 10mL, or 10 drops of gas at each light. Probably take 200mL to restart truck each time.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
